According to TMZ: “Scandal” star Columbus Short has been thrown out of his house and his wife has filed for divorce … after he allegedly put a knife to her throat last week and threatened to kill her and himself. According to a new restraining order — obtained by TMZ — Short got into it with his wife April 7 at their Chatsworth home, where she claims he came into her room intoxicated with a wine bottle in hand, acted like he was going to hit her with the bottle and then unloaded the wine on her. Tuere Short claims Columbus then ran to the kitchen for a knife, pinned her to the couch and began choking her. She says he then demanded they play a game he called “Truth or Truth.” He allegedly said if she lied he would stab her in the leg. She says he then started naming men he believed she was having affairs with. She denied them all but he allegedly then put the knife to her throat and threatened murder/suicide. As she tried escaping she says he slashed her tire. The restraining order requires Columbus to move out of the house. We’ve learned cops were there today to ensure the peace as he moved out. Tuere also filed for divorce Tuesday, citing irreconcilable differences and asking for sole custody of their 2-year-old daughter. In addition to the incident April 7th, Short has been charged with criminal domestic violence and child abuse for allegedly abusing Tuere while their child and his son were in the house. He pled not guilty. And he was arrested for yet another alleged domestic violence incident a few weeks earlier.

Todd really did date up when he got Kandi …. Kandi Defends Todd Tucker’s Opportunist Dating Style Via RadarOnline reports: That’s what The Real Housewives of Atlanta fans were wondering on Sunday night, as another person came forward to charge that Todd was sketchy with the ladies. On the episode, Cynthia Bailey‘s friend Natalie joined the housewives to dish some serious dirt on TV producer Todd . Natalie told Cynthia she had known Tucker years before, when he had dated her friend. According to Natalie, Todd cheated on the woman and “broke her heart a couple of times.” She added, “Todd knows how to find himself in situations to better himself.” Startled Cynthia went on to share the information to the other housewives behind Kandi’s back while they rode in a minivan to a winery outing in Atlanta. And later, Natalie herself confronted Kandi about Todd, after Kenya Moore threw some shade her way, saying she knew Natalie wasn’t even married to her own supposed husband, R&B singer Christopher Williams. Natalie called Kenya a liar in a nasty exchange with RHOA’s resident diva, and later turned the discussion to Todd, telling Kandi he had broken the heart of her friend. “She was the one telling Cynthia that your man is an opportunist!” Kenya shouted to Kandi. “Those words never came out of my mouth, lying pageant girl!” Natalie replied. Natalie then went on to deny to the other housewives that she had said Todd was an opportunist. But it was actually worse, as Natalie said she meant that Todd was “a hustler”! “Todd knows how to swerve; he knows how to find himself a better situation,” she elaborated to Kandi. “Those are my exact words. Todd was always on the ‘come up.’ “ Porsha Stewart gasped, “You know that means you’re getting with someone who has more money. You’re calling out her fiancé.” But Kandi set Natalie straight, shouting, “Nobody cares about your friend! And you can stop bringing her up. Bottom line, you saying he wanted to ‘date up,’ you’re just letting me know you think I’m a hot b***h. And I am! “I’m successful. I can’t help it and I look good, so that means he has no reason to cheat! He got the hottest b***h he could find in Atlanta. He came up! Give it up for Todd!’ Kandi hollered in triumph, raising her wine glass. Do you think Todd has successfully “hustled” Kandi into a better life for himself?? Bravo

If there’s one thing The Real Housewives of Orange County love, it’s wine. Vicki and Tamra launched Wines by Wives last season and now it’s time to focus on building their business. Except they’re not really friends anymore, so this should make for interesting office politics. Join us now as we break it all down with our THG +/- system! At Casa Dubrow, Terry asks the most disgusting question a husband can ask a wife. “Do you want to cut my toenails?” Minus 20 . These two are still on the outs following their dinner the night before. She tries to explain why she was hurt the night before and he just goes right on clipping his toenails. Minus 10 . Heather’s issue is that she needs support from Terry instead of jokes. Terry cracks another joke. Get it together, you two! The wine is in and Tamra checks to make sure she’s the center wife on the label. She and Eddie head out to Malibu for a little wine tasting with the girls. Tamra’s jealous of Eddie’s bike and says if there’s anyone he would ever have an affair with, it would be his bike. Vicki climbs into the limo with the Dubrows and the McLaughlins. She’s feeling like a fifth wheel as the only person on the trip without a significant other. Lydia’s kids made a get well card for Slade’s son. Super sweet. Plus 12. Tamra’s ready to do some business. Yes, they’re sampling wine, but they also need to choose new wines for their mail-order business. During the first sampling, the wine goes to Vicki’s head and she insults the winery owner by saying she thought he and his daughter were actually a couple. Minus 13. Heather asks how old the daughter is and she responds “24.” Then Vicki adds injury to insult by telling the girl she looks older than 24. Minus 7 . Jim and Alexis have a new Sky Zone opening in San Diego so she’s not on the Malibu trip. And she wasn’t invited in the first place. They’re going to the opening of their trampoline park for kids without their own kids. Back in Malibu, the group arrives at their hotel and Vicki turns on the tears and whines about the fact that she’s single. Or just there by herself, since she and Brooks are sort of dating but then not? At dinner, there’s more alcohol. Doug asks which wine they’re drinking at dinner and asks who chose it. Tamra raises her hand and Vicki gives her the Evil Eye. Talk turns to the missing dramatic element of the night: Alexis. Lydia says that Alexis misses Gretchen and Gretchen says she doesn’t believe that. To change the subject, Tamra asks Heather if she’ll get to make out with anyone on her upcoming guest role on Hot In Cleveland . Atta girl, Tamra! Way to shift the focus! Plus 8 . Terry starts cracking jokes and Heather’s demeanor changes instantly. Vicki has a new business venture that she hasn’t told Tamra about, one to which she’s focusing most of her attention. Instead of helping sell Wines by Wives, she’s peddling Vicki’s Vodka. It’s day two in Malibu and there are more wines to taste. Eddie and Slade are missing breakfast for cycling. Heather asks if Tamra and Eddie need to have a conversation about the cycling and Tamra tells her that’s an argument she’ll never win. Thus begins a conversation about marriage and compromise and pretty soon Terry spills the beans that after their dinner, he dropped the “D” word in conversation with Heather. Vicki actually gives sage advice when she says that throwing around the word “divorce” builds a wall between a married couple. Plus 10 . Heather just wants what she gives. That’s not too much to ask. Eddie and Slade arrive from their ride just in time to draw the attention away from Terry and Heather. Plus 5 . Instead of tasting and choosing wine, Vicki tries on coats. Then she needs to leave to go to dinner with friends in L.A. even though she’s supposed to be on a business trip. The best thing that could possibly happen for Vicki and Tamra at this point is for the two of them to stop being business partners. Tamra calls Vicki a bitch and Vicki calls Tamra a miserable person. Heather and Terry take a moment to talk about brunch and he apologizes. He knows he screwed up. They agree to hit the pause button on the conversation and pick it up again after she films. Briana brings Troy by Vicki’s office because that’s the only way she feels like she can see her mom. Vicki gives her side of the story about Malibu and definitely angles the conversation so she’s in a good light. Minus 8 . Tamra and Eddie go to dinner to discuss the fitness studio. Tamra has trouble balancing two businesses. She also thinks she has an anger issue given her latest outburst with Vicki. Tamra doesn’t know how to talk about emotion and has a really truthful moment with herself and Eddie about how she reacts to situations. Plus 30. EPISODE TOTAL: +7 SEASON TOTAL: -38
The ORH (that’s “Original Real Housewives”) are back as the Real Housewives of Orange County season 8 premieres! This season promises drama, babies, and lots of blonde headed women–and Heather–knocking back wine and ” champs ” on Bravo’s flagship franchise. With new cast member Lydia McLaughlin joining in and former cast member Lauri Peterson set to return this season, there’s sure to be some drama. This should be awesome. Vicki’s redecorating to celebrate Donn’s exit and Brianna and Ryan’s entrance. She’s ready to dive right into her role as grandmother. Plus 10 . A quick minus 5 for calling Brianna huge. Plus 3 for moving the furniture with her assistant instead of waiting for a man to help her and another plus 5 for the wine break while moving it! Still reeling from Slade comparing her to Miss Piggy during his stand-up gig last season, Vicki’s been working out in the off season. And by working out, we of course mean getting a nose job, cheek injections, and a chin implant. But hey, at least she’s not hiding behind “sinus surgery.” Plus 12 for honesty. Except she hasn’t told the other women. Her relationship with Brooks is “unsettled.” After hearing it from so many people, she finally started to see him for the opportunist he is. Can we keep New Vicki? I kind of like her right now. At Casa Dubrow, Heather’s planning a clambake for the ladies. All the ladies except Alexis. Since they don’t get along, Heather doesn’t want Alexis in her life. Plus 5? Minus 5? I can’t decide. So, both. We’ll call it a wash. Terry really, really likes onion rings. Plus 15 to Heather and Terry for being awesome together. Tamra and Eddie are co-habitating, with her kids, in preparation for their impending nuptials. She’s moving forward with her fitness studio with Eddie as an investor. They’re splitting things 51 and she likes to let him know. She also likes to let him know she hates his taste in decor. It does kind of suck. Oh, hooray! It’s baby day! Briana’s in the hospital. How long before Vicki will try to find a way to make this all about herself? Gretchen and Tamra are out shopping and Heather calls to let them know that Briana’s in labor. Heather suggests Tamra shoot Vicki a text and Tamra says she’ll text Briana instead. She and Vicki are still on the outs. Tamra hasn’t talked to Alexis either. Apparently, Alexis took offense to being called “Jesus Jugs” during the reunion show and she and Jim have thought about suing Tamra . Minus 8, Alexis. Tamra’s mean, but Alexis walked into everything she said. Briana’s been in labor for 18 hours. Still no baby yet. The doctors are talking c-section and Vicki’s freaking out. Baby Troy is here! Plus 50! He’s so tiny and cute and the little baby sneeze! Oh my god! The cute and I die!! Briana makes babies and Gretchen can’t figure out how to make coffee. Minus 8 . Slade has a new job as a radio DJ and without him there, Gretchen’s morning routine is suffering. Minus 10 more for good measure. Now that Slade has a real job, Gretchen has hired Cindy to help her manage her business and life. But Cindy is no Slade. The Bellinos have moved into a new home, one which they own. But Alexis and Jim keep arguing about how to decorate the space. Alexis wants to change the art and Jim takes the opportunity to ask her what she knows about art. He’s such an ass. Minus 12. Alexis maintains that she was bullied by the other women last year. That they intentionally attacked her repeatedly because she was weaker than they were. She knows about Heather’s clambake and knows that she wasn’t invited. She’s not ready to be around those women and Jim agrees that Alexis is right to avoid them all. While preparing for the clambake, Heather’s micro-managing the people she hired to design and plan the party. Minus 7. She’s also putting Tamra and Vicki across from each other at the table without bothering to find out if they’re even talking. Eddie and Tamra are picking up Gretchen and Gretchen’s nervous about seeing Vicki. Vicki’s also nervous about seeing the other women but plans to be honest about the work she had done. At Heather’s house, the chef Heather hired has prepared a meal that’s making my mouth water. Terry asks about onion rings. Again. Tamra, Gretchen, and Eddie arrive at Heather’s house and after her last shindig, Heather has hired bodyguards. Minus 8 for overkill. Heather has Gretchen seated next to Vicki and she and Tamra immediately go to work to try to needle Heather into changing the seating chart. Heather’s not budging. Tamra and Gretchen also think that Vicki hasn’t actually broken up with Brooks like she says she has. What happened to honesty, Vicki? Vicki has arrived and she’s ready to be a bitch to Tamra if Tamra’s a bitch to her. Cat fight! Bring it on, ladies! EPISODE TOTAL: +37 SEASON TOTAL: +37
